AMLA publishes final draft RTS on home-host supervisory cooperation

The EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) published final draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) under Article 46(4) of the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (Directive (EU) 2024/1640) (AMLD 6). The draft RTS were previously consulted on in May and establish a simple, proportionate, and efficient framework for information exchange, cross-border inquiries, and coordinated supervision. In particular, they:

• give supervisors of cross-border groups—in both the financial and non-financial sectors—a shared baseline for working together across the EU
• set out practical arrangements for effective day-to-day cooperation, including a simplified disclosure framework allowing the onward sharing of information among EU supervisors without prior consent
• enable home and host supervisors to conduct cross-border inquiries and coordinate supervisory approaches
• favour a proportionate and risk-based approach to supervisory cooperation.

The final draft RTS will be submitted to the European Commission for adoption before being published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ). They are expected to come into force 20 days after being published in the OJ and will apply from 10 July 2027.
